[PATCH 3/3] fs/jffs2/dir.c: Use kasprintf

[Julia Lawall]

Convert a sequence of kmalloc and memcpy to use kasprintf.  The argument is
checked for being a string by the presence of a previous call to strlen.

The semantic patch that performs this transformation is:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression a,flag,len;
expression arg,e1,e2;
statement S;
@@

  len = strlen(arg)
  ... when != len = e1
      when != arg = e2
  a =
-  \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(len+1,flag)
+  kasprintf(flag,"%s",arg)
  <... when != a
  if (a == NULL || ...) S
  ...>
- memcpy(a,arg,len+1);
// </smpl>
